Marks of the Body of Christ

Martin Luther once listed seven "marks" of the church -- those defining ecclesial features that show where the true church is to be found. This volume brings together essays by Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, and Orthodox theologians, each analyzing one of the seven traditional marks of the church and discussing how it is found, or not found, in our various churches today. Contributors: William J. Abraham, Carl E. Braaten, John H. Erickson, Gerhard O. Forde, Robert W. Jenson, Richard Lischer, Richard A. Norris Jr., K. Paul Wesche, Susan K. Wood, and David S. Yeago.
